type:

Lecture + exercises

lecturer:

Depmeier

Semester:

WS

hours per week:

3

ECTS credits:

4

content:

Crystalline and non-crystalline states of matter; morphology and
geometry of crystals; stereographic projection; symmetry operations, point
groups, space groups, basics of group theory; crystal physics, anisotropy of
physical properties, tensors.
In the exercises practical problems are solved whereby the spatial sense of
the students is formed and a comprehension of  the universal importance of
symmetry developed.
